I’m honored to be an NCISS member, and for the opportunity to serve on the board of directors. NCISS is a valuable asset for the continuity of the investigative and security professions. Without legislative monitoring, our work capabilities and access to data will be phased out. It is our professional responsibility to educate law makers about what we do, and the essential need for our services, so that when laws are proposed and created we are not invertedly excluded from being able to help society.
